Lisa started her career in the maritime sector working with shipping companies to defend against the Somali pirate threat. Her work involved both physical and technical security and she developed a keen interest in intelligence gathering. Lisa then went to work for the UK Counter Terrorism Intelligence Services where she was involved in a range of overt and covert intelligence gathering operations. Whilst there she headed up research into the process of online radicalisation and social engineering. She studied the processes used by terrorist groups to manipulate individuals into doing something that would be “out of character” for them- something that is echoed in the cyber crime space. Lisa then moved into one of the UK Police Cyber Crime Units where she worked on a plethora of cases the majority of which also employed social engineering. Whilst there Lisa saw similar attack techniques being employed in a wealth of cases and often attacks were made worse by poor planning & decision making on the part of the victim organisation. Lisa decided to set up her own business with the aim of copying the tactics used by hackers to help organisations better defend themselves against the real threats. Lisa speaks around the world at conferences and after dinner speaking engagements. Red Goat Cyber Security engages in a lot of pro-bono work too for the NHS and various charities reflecting Lisa’s interest in keeping the communities we live and work in as safe as possible.
